Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup green grape juice
- 1–2 tablespoons agave syrup (natural), adjust to taste
- 1 cup sparkling water, chilled
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish and infusion
- Natural green food coloring (natural), optional, to enhance color
- Natural gelling agent, optional, dissolved in warm water for texture
Instructions
- Prepare the Lime Base: Squeeze fresh limes until you have about half a cup of juice. This fresh lime juice provides the bright, zesty foundation needed to make the punch sparkle.
- Mix the Core Ingredients: In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lime juice, apple cider vinegar, green grape juice, and agave syrup (natural). Stir thoroughly to blend the sweet and tangy flavors perfectly.
- Add Sparkling Water: Just before serving, gently stir in the chilled sparkling water to add effervescence, making the punch lively and refreshing.
- Enhance with Mint and Optional Texture: Add fresh mint leaves to infuse a cool herbal scent. If desired, mix in a small amount of natural gelling agent dissolved in warm water to create a fun, textured element that delights with each sip.
Notes
- Use fresh lime juice and fresh mint for the brightest flavors and aromas.
- Adjust sweetness gradually by starting with less agave syrup and adding more as needed.
- Ensure the punch is well chilled before serving for the best refreshing experience.
- Serve cold with ice cubes or decorative ice spheres to keep the punch cool longer without rapid dilution.
- Stir sparkling water in gently to maintain the fizz and effervescent texture.
